Northend Vaults
86 Northgate Street, Gloucester GL1 1SL
A successful refurbishment (in 24 hours!) in May 1996 ended the pub's short experiment as a Tut 'n' Shive Ale House and thankfully restored its centuries old name 'The Vaults' (though not without some strange attributions to Ebenezer Riley!!). Closed as the Vaults December 2013, seemingly permanently, but has reopened April 2014 as 'Northend Vaults'. A Craft Union pub - Ei Group's wet led managed house chain.
Great Western
91, Alfred Street, Gloucester GL1 4BU
Smart back-street pub whose view of the railway (after which it was re-named in 1986) is not as extensive as it was before the feeder road alongside was built. Lounge contains railwayana. Public bar has pool and other games. Warm welcome.
Plough Inn
7-9 Upton Street, Gloucester GL1 4JT
Old fashioned community corner pub sold by Whitbread in 1991. Fabric little changed as yet. Landlord provides spontaneous live entertainment. Traditional cider available, real ale introduced 2018.
Abbey
53 Northgate Street, Gloucester GL1 2AJ
Originally two pubs but converted some years ago into one large pub in the centre of Gloucester close to the Cathedral. Sells reasonable priced pub food and a range of real ales. Popular venue to watch sports TV with a large screen and several smaller ones. Busy on match days when Gloucester Rugby play at home.
Sword
43-45 Westgate Street, Gloucester GL1 2NW
Former 17th century pub, enlarged by incorporating the adjacent shop that was one the workplace of the "Tailor of Gloucester" now immortalised by Beatrix Potter. Single bar with pictures of old Gloucester and Toby jugs. Popular for lunchtime food.
Teague's Bar
48 Kingsholm Road, Gloucester GL1 3BH
Fine red brick pub dating from 1898. Attractive stepped gable ends and relief moulds of a white hart with original Ind Coope Britannia crests add decoration. Two bars and a function room with skittles. Popular on rugby days. Three handpumps with Wadworth 6X being the nearest to a 'regular'; the 'Shed Ale', when available, is Ringwood Razorback.
Whitesmiths Arms
81 Southgate Street, Gloucester GL1 1UR
19th-century dockers' pub, named after maritime metal-workers, this fine pub has been sensitively extended to incorporate the 15th century building next door (one of the few outside the city walls to survive the Royalist siege of 1643). Families welcome. Large garden. No food on Saturday and Sunday evening.
King Edward Vii
47, Old Cheltenham Road, Longlevens, Gloucester GL2 0AN
Attractive red-brick pub built in 1907 by Mitchells and Butlers, and renamed after Edward VII's visit to Gloucester in 1909; this large, popular community asset was given a total refit in 2001, featuring some practical modern styling and a large, central bar layout. The working fireplace has been kept; with their menu choices going down well with the locals. The regularly changing guest ales are sourced from the Ember Inns cask list. A wonderful, petite garden graces the front.
Avenue
227, Bristol Road, Gloucester GL1 5TH
Well refurbished Victorian hotel, now a lively community pub with strong sporting overtones (children's play area in garden). No food on Sunday, or Monday evening.
Dick Whittington's
100 Westgate Street, Gloucester GL1 2PE
The imposing 18th Century brick frontage of this Grade I listed building hides a 15th century structure that was the Whittington family town house until 1546. The Victorian style bar dominates the spacious medieval interior. Downstairs, the Black Cat cellar bar is available for events, parties and private functions. On 23rd May 2019 it closed but reopened late July under the auspices of Severn Cider. The initial offering was just one real ale and 4 real ciders along with live music at the weekends. Severn Cider relinquished the licence of the Dick Whittington in September 2020.
Kingsholm Inn
8-10 Kingsholm Road, Gloucester GL1 3AT
Enlarged pub with very attractive interior. Rugby photos and a mural portraying players from all North Gloucestershire Rugby Combination teams. Referred to locally as "The Jockey" because of the pub's association with the trotting course before rugby came to Kingsholm. The pub also doubles as a café and opens from 7am Monday to Saturday for this purpose, hence the food hours being earlier than the pub's opening hours. We understand that the pub reopened with new tenants mid September 2019 after a two month closure.
Linden Tree
73-75, Bristol Road, Gloucester GL1 5SN
Set back from a busy thoroughfare, this end property of a Grade II listed Georgian terrace has a 'country' feel inside. A very popular drinking spot, it has beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls (of questionable origin), an open log fire with unusual canopy, carriage lamps - even a carriage wheel as a seating area boundary. A skittle alley opens up to create extra space. Nine excellently presented ales are usually stocked with guests from Family Brewers ever-changing. Substantial home-made meals (not Saturday or Sunday evening) and bargain accommodation. On-street parking advised. There is a small patio in front and bus route 12 from the city centre stops nearby.
